Yeah mine need to be pointed down some too but not much surprisingly and ive been driving around a lot at night and since I have installed them ive only gotten flashed 2 times. I was going to get aftermarket lenses(just clear) but I have to fix my truck before I can get those. I guess stock ones mess up the beam and blind other drivers but I dont think its too bad so keeping stock for now is going to have to work.

The stock housing difuse the light better then the crystal clear headlights. To the other drivers the stock lenses look brighter then the crystal. I pointed mine down and have not got flashed once with the new headlights.

How did both of you adjust the headlights? Did you do the 25' from the garage door and all the measurments or just crank them down? Just curious.

No I left mine the same but really if you are installing hids if you have fogs on or not you cant tell. User hardwired his cause if you install hid fogs it can cause flashing lights and other stuff so doing it that way he can turn on his fogs when ever. My fogs look so diff compared to my hids so I leave mine off. Only thing you have to do is before you plug in the hids just switch 2 wires around take 30sec but thats all I had to do to get my truck to work. Im going to get the hid fogs too.
